When my children hear godliness out of my mouth and they see wickedness in my life, then I point them to heaven and I lead them to hell.

God is not counting our sins against us because He is counting our sins against Christ.

The Creator of the universe knows me.

You need to be in a church where the pastors are urging you, not so much to listen to what they say as to turn to the Bible from which they teach.

The same Holy Spirit who implants faith within a life implants the boldness to verbalize that faith.

To risk reputation and affection for the truth's sake is so demanding that to do it constantly you will need a degree of moral principle that only the Spirit of God can work in you. Do not turn your back like a coward, but play the man. Follow boldly in your Master's steps, for He has made this rough journey before you. Better a brief warfare and eternal rest than false peace and everlasting torment.

The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none; but if doing what is right and believing what is true should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will regard it as a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be even more friendly and will reveal Himself to him more graciously than ever.
